Hillary Clinton

I graduated from college in 1964. Having attended a small lily-white undergrad college in the West where no AAs were resident in the single dorm that existed then, I never really knew about the experience of AA women students in dorms.

In my private Catholic high school of 600 students when I attended in the late 1950s-early 1960s, however, there were approximately four AA students (two females and two males), whose fathers worked for the Great Northern RR. One of the girls was very active in speech, drama and music and I knew her well - and admired her very much because she was extremely talented; I wasn't really in any classes or activities with the other girl but she seemed to have a fairly devoted circle of friends. Both of the guys were active in sports and, so far as I know, were basically integrated quite well insofar as classes and activities went. I can't speak to other experiences they may have had.

This was very moving, IMO, and makes me like Hillary even more.
